Reservoir safety: making reservoir emergency on-site flood plans
Seeking views on making reservoir emergency on-site flood plans a requirement for all reservoirs regulated under the Reservoir Act 1975.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
We want to know what you think about making all reservoirs have and maintain emergency on-site flood plans and how the requirement could work.
In particular, we’re interested in:
- what the on-site plans should include
- how often they should be updated and tested
- how we can improve the guidance about preparing plans
- if training for undertakers, engineers, local authority emergency planners and emergency services would be beneficial
